Lmao. This is the exact reason why I had the response I had in the “NRS community leaders” thread. I don’t know you. I’ve met met you. I think you’re a good guy. But I’m not here to bow to you and your achievements I just wanna know why you and the rest of the “top” players feel like you can shit on this site(which consumes most of your nrs community) give it a bad rep, yet most of y’all still come EVERY year using tech from threads, engaged in convos lurking etc. I’m not accusing YOU but some of your peers who supposedly HATE the site do it so yeah.. Idk the history of why you all left and it may be something along the lines of having thin skin over the internet if you could believe that.. Either way I feel like if you were just going to shit on certain ppl that responded and tell people “it’s my Twitter I do what I want” you could have posted that to twitter and left it there. What was the point of coming and then saying “see ya in 2 years!” Same goes for the players who “hate tym” but come here to promote patreons and other business endeavors. To each his own, but at least be consistent with the bullshit.
This attitude is why the community is in shambles now. If it weren’t for him + his top player Illuminati peers, nrs could be even bigger! But nah let’s dump on the site that helped ALL of them get to where they are now. If you think sonic is where he is at rn because of ONLY HIMSELF and friends you’d be a fool. The entire community is responsible for helping not only him, but a TON of other old players who went on to work for NRS. This site is important to the nrs community regardless wether you think him supporting Italy’s a difference or not. When you start from the bottom(cause he did) and make it big, you don’t shit on the community who helped you get there. You give back to them and you MOST IMPORTANTLY HELP the next generation. I’m all for him being in WIN mode at a tourney, but what’s the reasoning for shitting on the community for years and starting this whole Us vs Them thing. Don’t get me wrong people, I don’t give two shits if he never visits again or any of them for that matter. He will still win evo and make 100000 top 8 placements that’s all fine. Just stfu about TYM if you aren’t going to help make it a better place or don’t like it don’t visit. Period.
Some great posts TeeJay, couldn't agree more. Already expressed my opinion on the gameplay elements, and everyone is rightfully entitled to their own. There has been much good discussion on the topic. I'm only gonna chime in on these two quoted parts since you hit the nail on the head. Which is this-
Great info and suggestions from the thread. Just gonna address a few people and then disappear from this site for about another 2 years.
and this-
Otherwise lotsa people in this thread gave me new thoughts to think about! It's the first time a thread hasnt been fully toxic in TYM in a fuckin minute LMFAO.
S O N I C F O X O U T
Lolz. So if I'm reading the beginning and the end correctly, while you acknowledge there is good discussion in the thread (you don't engage in any of that discussion however other than reiterating your already established opinion), you appear in it only to check a few people who you feel disparaged you, and now that you have addressed them you can disappear for another 2 years because it's so toxic here? Lolzwut.
Not much can be said about this other than it is objectively false and easily disproved, while simultaneously saying see you in 2021.
Had you (or certain others) care to
actually read what is being discussed in the threads, you would know that the overwhelming majority of discussions, as well as members, are not toxic at all. It's a fun punchline for quite a few top players to claim "toxicity" because at times forum members hurt their fragile feelings/egos when they are not in agreement with their opinion. As long as it's done in a conversing manner, what's the issue? That's literally the function of public forum. If someone is disrespectful or blatantly wrong of course, but before the exodus,
too many players claimed it being toxic because they weren't worshiped for speaking.
So much of the claimed toxicity came from "oh top player X post a MU chart and TYM member Y disagrees? How dare he challenge it with his inferior skill level, you never faced player Z in tournament bruh, it's so toxic here. Time to leave and discuss in my chat with other top players". Fail. No, not toxic, but there's another word for it. Leaving out irrelevant threads such as "Who is your favorite character" or whatnot, here are currently active threads on TYM discussing gameplay mechanics-
-Post-Stress Test Gameplay Poll (14 Questions) - Meant to Help NRS
-50/50 on throw
-Chip Death MK11 General Thread
-Input Window Mode
-Flawless block concern, how to fix it
-solutions for sonic's "air tech" problem - no armor?
-Initial Impressions
Not a single one of those threads are "toxic" in any way. All meaningful discussion from members discussing the game, and it's mechanics, as again is the function of a public forum. Barring a few exceptions or obvious trolls, TYM is amazing for discussion and sharing information without half the top players bashing them for not placing at tournaments. After all, it must be doing something right when individuals who place in tourneys themselves have been exposed lurking/alt'ing here to scoop tech, then go out and preach how it's, and I quote, "terrible" here.
This isn't as much as a direct address to you specifically, as it is to the false narrative that TYM is a place that can't play or discuss the game. It's a false narrative continually purported by certain top players who mostly can't get over themselves.
